What do you do with a drunken sailor when the world is underwater? Twenty years after the pandemic that nearly wiped out humanity, seventeen-year-old trainwreck Bird Howsley is struggling to find her place. In a world mostly underwater—beset not just by pandemics but also by climate change—sailing isn’t just a pastime: it’s the way of life. Unfortunately, Bird is a terrible sailor, with a drinking habit to boot. Fortunately, she has a lifeline: her best friend Sargo, a second-generation immigrant and Bird’s straight-laced sailing instructor. From $0.99. Free via KU. SHOP NOW /
